Description
A close up of a grey gull (also known as garuma gull, Leucophaeus modestus), which is found along the Pacific coasts of South America from Ecuador to southern Chile and sometimes further afield. It is unusual in that it doesn't breed on the coast but only in inland areas of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, something that wasn't discovered until 1945.
